- the split bearer B SP is referred to as “split bearer via SCG” as described above, but in the drawing, it is appropriately described as “SCG split bearer” for convenience.
- the UE 200 configures a split bearer B SP based on the received RRC Connection Reconfiguration, and transmits an RRC Connection Reconfiguration Complete to the eNB 100A (S20, S30).
- the UE 200 detects RLF (S-RLF) in SCG, and transmits a failure notification (SCG Failure Information) indicating that S-RLF has occurred to the eNB 100A (S40, S50).
- S-RLF RLF
- SCG Failure Information failure notification
- FIG. 8 shows an example of configuration of split bearer B SP (Split bearer via SCG) (after releasing some resources). As shown in FIG. 8, since resources of lower layers than the RLC NR layer of gNB 100 B are released, split bearer B SP (resources constituting the segment) in the section (dotted line section in the figure) directed from gNB 100 B directly to UE 200 Is released.
- the UE 200 After that, the UE 200 returns to the PSCell of the SCG that was connected before the S-RLF detection (S40) (S60).
- the reason why the UE 200 returns to the PSCell before S-RLF detection includes the case where the cell reception quality of the PSCell improves, or the failure recovery of the PSCell (gNB 100B).
- the UE 200 transmits, to the eNB 100A, a Measurement Report regarding cells included in SCG, specifically, PSCell and SCell (S70).
- the eNB 100 A re-connects the UE 200 with the PSCell based on the received Measurement Report (eg, Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), Signal-to-Interference plus Noise power Ratio (SINR), etc.). If it is determined that it is possible, the UE 200 is instructed to execute a random access procedure in PSCell (S80).
- Measurement Report eg, Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ), Signal-to-Interference plus Noise power Ratio (SINR), etc.
- the UE 200 executes the random access procedure with the gNB 100B forming the PSCell based on the random access procedure execution instruction (S90). Specifically, the UE 200 transmits Random Access Preamble (Message 1) to the gNB 100B. In addition, the gNB 100B returns Random Access Response (Message 2).
- the UE200 will transmit SCG recovery Information to eNB100A, if a random access procedure is completed (S100).
- SCG recovery Information indicates that the UE 200 has returned to the SCG and resumed UL transmission.
- the SCG recovery Information can be defined, for example, as a message of the RRC layer.
- FIG. 6 shows a split bearer control sequence (Operation Example 2) including radio link failure (S-RLF) in the secondary cell group.
- S-RLF radio link failure
- the UE 200 executes the random access procedure based on the execution instruction of the random access procedure from the eNB 100A, but in this operation example, after the UE 200 returns to PSCell, the UE 200 performs the random access procedure Be done.
- the operation example 1 portions different from the operation example 1 will be mainly described, and the description of the same portions will be appropriately omitted.
- the UE 200 determines that the PSCell quality, specifically, the cell reception quality satisfies the predetermined value (S65).
- the UE 200 measures the cell reception quality (RSRP, RSRQ, SINR, etc.) in the PSCell, as in the measurement report shown in the operation example 1, and determines whether the cell reception quality exceeds a predetermined value.
- RSRP cell reception quality
- RSRQ cell reception quality
- SINR SINR
- the predetermined value may be notified from the eNB 100A to the UE 200.
- the predetermined value may be notified using RRC Connection Reconfiguration for setting the SCG split bearer.
- UE200 performs a random access procedure with PSCell (gNB100B), when the cell reception quality in PSCell satisfy
- the following operation and effect can be obtained. Specifically, when the eNB 100A reconnects the UE 200 to the same SCG as before the resource release of the layer lower than the predetermined layer (RLC layer) of the split bearer B SP , the upper layer resource held (PDCP layer or higher) Reconfigure the split bearer B SP using. Also, when the split bearer B SP is reconfigured, the eNB 100A instructs the UE 200 to perform a random access procedure with the gNB 100B included in the reconnected SCG.
- the eNB 100A reconnects the UE 200 to the same SCG as before the resource release of the layer lower than the predetermined layer (RLC layer) of the split bearer B SP , the upper layer resource held (PDCP layer or higher) Reconfigure the split bearer B SP using. Also, when the split bearer B SP is reconfigured, the eNB 100A instructs the UE 200 to perform a random access procedure with the gNB 100B included in the reconnected SCG.
- RLC layer predetermined
- the processing delay can be significantly reduced by the RRC layer message as compared with the case of reconfiguring the split bearer B SP using the held upper layer resource. That is, since the upper layer resource split bearer B SP is held, rather than re-setting in the RRC layer, by executing only the random access procedure may reconfigure the split bearer B SP quickly.
- the split bearer B SP via the SCG when the split bearer B SP via the SCG is configured, a part of resources are held, and therefore, an increase in the amount of signaling due to the release and configuration of the split bearer B SP is repeated. It is possible to further reduce the delay associated with the split bearer B SP reconfiguration.
- the split bearer B SP can be similarly reconfigured by the initiative of the UE 200 instead of the instruction from the eNB 100A. According to such reconfiguration of the split bearer B SP led by the UE 200, it is possible to reduce the delay associated with the reconfiguration of the split bearer B SP while reducing the processing load on the network side (eNB 100A).
- PDCCH or MAC CE can be used for the execution instruction of the random access procedure by the eNB 100A. Therefore, execution of the random access procedure can be instructed to the UE 200 by an implementation of the UE 200 and the eNB 100A, or an appropriate method according to the requirement.
- priority can be given to execution of a random access procedure with a cell belonging to a TAG including PSCell. For this reason, UL transmission via the cell (SCell) belonging to TAG including PSCell can also be resumed promptly.
- the UE 200 can transmit SCG recovery Information indicating that the UE 200 has recovered to the SCG to the eNB 100A. Therefore, the eNB 100A can quickly and reliably recognize that the UE 200 can return to the SCG (PSCell) before S-RLF and can resume UL transmission.

Abstract
Dans la présente invention, un eNB (100A) paramètre une porteuse divisée qui passe par un SCG à partir d'un réseau central et se divise à partir du SCG en l'eNB (100A) qui est inclus dans un MCG. Si un UE (200) se reconnecte au même SCG que celui avant la libération d'une partie des ressources de la porteuse divisée, l'eNB (100A) paramètre à nouveau la porteuse divisée qui utilise une ressource de couche supérieure conservée. L'UE (200) exécute une procédure d'accès aléatoire à l'aide d'un gNB (100B) inclus dans le SCG reconnecté.
